In the editorial published in today’s edition of Allsports, Xavier Jacobelli he focused on the dismissal of Daniele De Rossi from Roma: “Of Roma, like Totti, history, symbol: yesterday, today and tomorrow. One day the Friedkins will pass, as Pallotta passed, but De Rossi and Totti will never pass. (…). De Rossi, the only one capable of allowing the fans to absorb the shock of Mourinho’s dismissal; De Rossi who Roma, in a troubled contingency of play and results in a red-hot environment, Roma had brought back to the Europa League. (…).
The manner of De Rossi’s rude, brutal dismissal seemed to be taken from a second-rate American film: the coach who shows up promptly at 7:30 in the morning at Trigoria, his workplace; he prepares the training session with the staff when he is notified that he has been fired and is asked to leave the sports center immediately.
But what kind of way of doing things is this? But respect? Style? Education? All that was missing were the boxes and then the scene would have been complete. The very harsh protest of the Roma fans is logical, triggered by a disastrous choice in terms of manner and timing (…). The Flags, with a capital B, are too cumbersome for those who don’t even know where the flagpole is to hoist them on”.
